Donavyn Pellot, who is likely the best player in the 25-year history of Silverado High football, verbally committed this morning to UCLA, Skyhawks coach Andy Ostolaza said.
The 6-foot-2 Pellot, who plays wide receiver and defensive back, also had scholarship offers from Washington, Washington State, Arizona, Fresno State, UNLV and others.
He’s considered a three-star recruit by 247 Sports, who lists him as the No. 5 overall recruit in Nevada for the class of 2023.
Pellot led Silverado to an undefeated season and class 4A championship in 2021, registering 1,229 all-purpose yards and 17 touchdowns on offense, and 66 tackles and two interceptions on defense.
He’s been equally unstoppable through four games this season. Take a 61-7 win against Sierra Vista, when Pellot scored five touchdowns — three rushing, one receiving and one punt return.
Verbal commitments are non-binding until an athlete signs a letter-of-intent. Signing day is in December.
